aiko , geography has got the better of us again
G
i know you wanna go
C D
and i Am to be singing
G C D
to the tail of an aeroplane
Em A
so i fold these pieces of gold
D D7
into animals so i can fashion a chain
Em A D
that will bridge the gap accross these continents
G C D G C D
aiko , your fatherless smile has been summoned to other shores
G C D
there’s a man over there with a gentleman’s bow
G C D
who invites you to take to the floor
Em
pack your traveling case
A
with your ribbons and lace
D D7
for his blood must be furnished with excellent taste
Em A D
but it might burn a hole into your paper face
Em ( 1stroke ) Em ( 1stroke )
and so you run towards the things you haven’t got
A D
just to say goodbye again
Em ( 1stroke ) Em ( 1stroke )
but do you think of me as he unlocks your knees
A D
at the terrace garden?
G C D
pretty pictures in the window blinds
G C D
looking out looks so good with the winter behind
G C D
like it is playing a banjo to a tennessee line
G C D
and the reeds are like cowboys perfectly aligned
Em A
does the sky over tokyo know
D
how a river can flow like the stroke
D7
of a violin bow?
Em A D
like a hand will run across the milky sky
Em ( 1 stroke )
but you can take these trees
Em ( 1 stroke )
and this summer breeze
A D
on this stupid looking day
Em ( 1 stroke ) Em ( 1 stroke )
and you can send it all to the japanese
A D
now my love has gone away .
( japanese verse ) ( ? )
Em – A – D
Em – A – D
Em A
and if you see aiko
D D7
or sayee
Em
let her know
A D
that she dances in my dreams .
